Four Children Burned to Dealt

The residence of II. /, Ross, at Fern City,
sixteen miles north of Oil City, Pa, was de-
stroyed by fire on the Oath and his four
children cremated. The mother left the
children in the house while she went on an
errand, and when she returned the house
was in flames. All efforts to rescue the
little ones ware unavailing as the entrance
to the upper floors was cut off by the
flames.

HIS REAL PLATFORM.
A Plausible Explanation of John Sher-
mans Apparent Inconsistency.

A Plausible Explanation OF John Sher-
mans Apparent Inconsistency.
Is it conceivable that within ten
davs of each other the two subjOined
expressions of political sentiment pro-
ceeded from the accommodating
larnyx of Hon. John Sherman, OF
Ohio? Yet such is the fact. The first
is from Mr.. Sherman's reply to the in
vitation to go to Gettysburg. The
second is from his letter cOngratu-
lating Foraker on his action IN the
matter of the battle flags:
Now that all alike L have felt lleenly
feel that an indestruct- the tendency of public
ible Union binds Us to- opinion. especially in
gether, there should be commercial cities, to
a cordial and hearty yield every thing, honor
fellowship between theinciuded, to the spirit
blue aad the gray" Of the rebellioa. A malt
has been called"
The honest fellow feels and he feels.
Some days he feels one way; some days
the other way.
But on all days of the week. an; al
all hours of the day. John Sherman
feels that he is getting pretty well
along in years, and that 1888 is his last
chance.
Whatever apparent Inconsistency
there may be in some of his utterances,
the real platform on which honest John
Sherman is running for President is
short, simple and straightforward.
His platform is "Now or nevcr.' ~

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

With singular unanimity East.
West, North and South, the Demo-
cratic party is declining to fight the
war over again. Nevertheless, let TIE
shirt-shaking proceed until the shirt
shakers are tired of it.-SL Louis Re-
publican.
General Sherman says that the
war is over. while his brother, Sena tor
Sherman, says it is not over. As be-
tween the two, it is doubtless better to
accept the statement of the one that
was there. About the only persons
who think the war is not over are
those who weren't there. Chicago
Times.
Tile departments under Demo-
cratic control are making an excellent
showing for the past fiscal year. In
one division of the Land Office 1,542
patents were issued last year, as against
690 the preceding year, and 1000 more
letters were answered than in 1886.
This increased work was done with
fewer clerks. Washington Post.
While the Confederate flag incl
dent is up it may not be amiss to recall
the fact that in 1873 Charles Sumner
offered a resolution in the United States
that proposed to ''strike from the flags
of the regular troops all mention of the
victories of the civil war;" In his
speech supporting his proposition ne
claimed that it was in accordance with
the uniform custom of all civilized na-
tions.-DetroH Free Press.

If that were the reason for Mr.. In

bitterly would he denounce his party
for its treatment of the humble

was partisan meanness which might
have been excused as the result of
little temporary enthusiasm having
in view brief advantage; but as

that the country had known. "The
people will never condone it-never,"
said Mr.. Tilden. The declaration is
the solemn truth. THE people"
meant, ut the time the words were
spoken. within half million of the
popular vote; but of that part of the
guilty party which is left confession and
repentance. so far as they have not
already been presented, are only a
question of time. The people do
not believe in crime against the system
which is designed to make them SOW
ereigns. The younger voter is not
person of the Chandler-Hayes kind.
The time is coming when the Chand-
lers and Hayeses and the Shermans
will take ignOminy and be remem-
bered after the manner of the immor-
tally won by Benedict Arnold. Let
us not meanwhile make the mistake of
comforting the ignominy merely upon
individuals. The party was made up
of men of that kind if they did not all
bear those names. 1t was the Repub-
lican party that put Hayes in his seat.
1t was that party that concocted and
supported and hurrahed for the scheme
that ended i'll that most consummate of
all political rascality. Confession is
as good for the Republicans as any
other soul, but no mere man or set of
men must be permitted to carry the
great weight of that stupendous crime.
1t was the party that did it and the
voters of this country must not forget
it.-N Y. Graphic.
